#Quote
1Inside these old forgotten books on shelves are wonders, miracles!
2The forceps of our minds are clumsy forceps, and crush the truth a little in taking hold of it.
3Cynicism is humor in ill health.
4Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.
5Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.
6What really matters is what you do with what you have.
7Our true nationality is mankind.
8Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.
9Advertising is legalized lying.
10Some people bear three kinds of trouble - the ones they've had, the ones they have, and the ones they expect to have.
#Fact
1His work and influence on the long-running science fiction television series Doctor Who (1963) was the subject of the documentary All's Wells That Ends Wells (2011).
2His role as the father of British science-fiction inspired Glen McCoy to write Doctor Who: Timelash: Part One (1985). He thought it would be amusing for British television's most famous science-fiction character, the Doctor, to meet Wells. In the story, Wells is depicted simply as "Herbert".
3He is the subject of the 1979 movie Time After Time (1979). It depicts Wells (played by Malcolm McDowell) inventing a time machine which Jack the Ripper uses to travel to 1979 San Francisco, and so Wells must follow him there.
4Created a game called "Little Wars" which used toy soldiers, bases, barracks, assembly areas, and fortresses. The game also had rules for infantry, cavalry and artillery. It is thought by many to be the first table-top war game.
5His name was found among some papers in Nazi Germany as a target for suppression once Great Britain was defeated. Wells always considered this a kind of dark flattery.
6Was a Labor candidate for Parliament in 1921 and 1922, but was easily defeated.
7An active member in the socialist Fabian Society.
8Although H.G. Wells does not have a grave (he was cremated and his ashes scattered), he was quoted later in life (after witnessing the development of the atomic bomb and it being used for warfare) as making the bitter suggestion that his epitaph should say "God damn you all, I told you so." This suggestion has often led to mistaken claims that this was indeed his actual epitaph. Nevertheless, he has no grave, no headstone, and thus no epitaph.
9Enjoyed playing with toy soldiers throughout his life.
10Gave up his teaching career when he came down with tuberculosis, and turned to writing for a living as he recovered.
11Was the first novelist to employ the themes of time travel ("The Time Machine"), interplanetary invasion ("The War of the Worlds"), genetic manipulation ("The Island of Dr. Moreau"), and nuclear war ("The World Set Free") - the latter in 1913, a year before World War I broke out, and over three decades before the first atomic bomb (which term he also originated).
12His first wife, Isabel, was the daughter of his father's cousin.
13Cheated on his wives repeatedly. He even demanded of his second wife the "right" to take lovers. His son with journalist Rebecca West, Anthony West, wrote about their relationship in "Aspects of a Life" (1984). He also had a child with Amber Reeves, the daughter of one of London's most prominent families. His other lovers included Odette Keun, Moura Budberg and Margaret Sanger. Wells may have fathered up to five children out of wedlock.
14His great grandson Simon Wells directed the 2002 remake of The Time Machine which was based on his novel.
15Appears on sleeve of The Beatles' "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album.
16Great-grandfather of Simon Wells
17H.G. Wells was driving through San Antonio, Texas and stopped to ask the way. The person he happened to ask was none other than Orson Welles who had recently broadcast "The War of the Worlds" on the radio. They got on well and spent the day together. (A recording also exists, of the two discussing the broadcast and the public's reaction.)
